Flashback 1983: While on vacation, President Ronald was informed of a Korean airliner shot down by the Soviet’s. Due to the seriousness of the event, he ended his trip and flew back to Washington DC. Below was his Address to the Nation about the attack.
In comparison, President Obama breifly spoke of the tradegy of the Malaysian Airlines jetliner over eastern Ukraine that was shot down by a surface-to-air missile. Concerns were raised for his attendance of two fundraisers in New York City, Thursday evening following the news of the downed passenger jet and Israel’s announcement of a ground offensive in Gaza.
“I don’t understand this president,” Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity. “Fundraisers in New York while there are major conflicts … I do not understand it.”
“What is the president doing tonight?” questioned Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.). “Fundraising.”
“American lives were lost in a presumed terror attack and President Obama and Sec. John Kerry did what they do best: speeches & fundraisers,” echoed Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas).
Others claimed his decision showed a disconnect with the American people. While another reminded, Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned.
In today’s headlines, Obama’s remarks at the White House were the strongest public suggestions yet from the United States over who was responsible for the downing of the jetliner, which exploded, crashed and burned on Thursday on farmland in eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people aboard.
Mr. Obama said the loss of life was an “outrage of unspeakable proportions” and a “global tragedy.” He vowed to investigate exactly what happened to end the lives of “men, women, children, infants who had nothing to do with the crisis” in that region. Mr. Obama also said that at least one American was among the dead.
“We are going to make sure the truth is out,” he said.

It is good to know that “our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also look for our SAVIOR, ( our Commander and Chief ), Who shall change the body of our humiliation, that it may be fashioned like unto HIS+ Glorious Body according to the working with which HE+ is able to subdue ALL things unto HIMSELF+!! Philippians 3:20-21. Our citizenship is not here on this earth. We must keep this in mind. The days ahead are not going to be easy.
May HIS+ Kingdom come upon this earth, and our FATHER’S will be done on earth as it is done in Heaven. Total evil will rear its ugly head so that it may be cast down to the dust and ground to powder. .Matthew 21:44.
Rejoice, our LORD+ draws near!
The disgusting display of lies and uncleaness is hard to bear, along with the constant looking for someone to blame so that a large war can be provoked. ( Human life means nothing to these people).
It will be over, fairly soon, relatively speaking. Isaiah says that “the former things shall not be remembered or even come into mind”. Wonderful day!
Bless all of you who are waiting for the Glorious appearing of our Great GOD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, as HIS+ FATHER makes HIS enemies HIS footstool. + + +
Some how our system is broken, the corruption goes to the top. And the denial is beyond belief. It is a chapter right out of the Bible. How can anyone not see the treason, the disrespect, the antiChristian retoric, and the evil in the present administration to the top. How can anyone deny the facts? The Saul Alinsky’s have pushed the me versus you, to divide the people, the Republicans versus the Democrats, in order to bring out the highschool mentality, my team vs your team. And even when evil and treason is evident, the “my team” sports denial to the end. WAKE UP AMERICA. We are being taken over by communists, and if you do not get it, it is a bad thing.
We have no nation now thanks to a President that has decided the good of America means nothing. If good were anywhere in this man our constitution would still be upheld. We can say God Bless America all we want, but with a tyrant at it’s helm we are going nowhere fast. God Bless You.Enlightening article as usual.
